240 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 5:20 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-14, snare through bars 15-40, hi-hat through bars 41-91, ride through bars 92-98, snare through bars 99-100 and silence through bars 101-104, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-25, 27 and 29, and 3 more places -- 21.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
